  • Spaces for 500 Guests

  Historic Fort Wayne occupies a stretch of Detroit's riverfront with roots that predate the fort itself.

Several distinct spaces across the grounds accommodate events of different scales and character. The Old Barracks — the oldest surviving structure on site — is a limestone building whose five ground-floor mess halls suit meetings and indoor gatherings. The 15-acre Parade Ground along the river is designed for large outdoor events including festivals and sporting occasions, with restroom facilities available in the adjacent building.
